I've got a patch with various textures and jit.gl.paths I want to record, and I thought Syphon Recorder might be the way to do it. So far, capturing the textures seems to work, but I've run into a problem with the paths: As far as I understand jit.gl.syphon, it appears that everything should get captured to a single jit.gl.node/jit.gl.syphonserver. But my jit.gl.paths are contained within abstractions within a couple levels deep hierarchy. So I haven't been able to find a way to connect them all to the middle outlet of a single jit.gl.node. Send/receives don't work, as jit.gl.node seems to want the middle outlet attached directly to an opengl object. I tried adding inlets to the abstractions in the hierarchy and connect jit.gl.node down through the hierarchy, but that didn't seem to work either.

Is there a way get the various jit.gl.paths all connected to Syphon? I've attached a simple patch that approximates what I'm trying to do.

make a jit.gl.texture @name syphon-out (you may need to use a loadbang or send it the qemetro to make it work)

get the 2nd outlet of the trigger (to_texture) and put it into

This should make jit.gl.render send its output to the jit.gl.texture object. You then need to plug that texture object into your syphon object.

Not behind the computer.
try this
make a jit.gl.texture @name syphon-out (you may need to use a loadbang or send it the qemetro to make it work)

create a trigger object
t b to_texture erase

get the 2nd outlet of the trigger (to_texture) and put it into
append syphon-out

in order to add gl objects to a gl.node sub-context (for capturing those objects to a texture), you simply provide the gl.node @name attribute as the gl objects first argument. for example:

this is what the jit.gl.node middle outlet connection does implicitly.

hi ubergeek.

jit.gl.path sub-ctx

Thanks! After squashing some odd bugs in the complex textures in my actual patch, it works using the syntax Rob explained. Very nice to be able to record in real time without external hardware! (Haven't tried recording with audio yet, but fingers crossed... )

For audio use soundflower. This works for me with video and audio.

I'm not good at this Max Msp Jitter stuff. I've been trying to figure this out and I simply can't. I hope you wizards can help me.

I would like to record the final jit.gl.render output into a mov. file with sound through syphon record. How do I do this?! I need someone to kindly explain to me this task step by step, because I literally have half a brain.

I have syphon server/client/record ready to go. I've been successful at connecting the jit.gl.node 2nd outlet to a mesh in other examples and see it in the syphon record. But this time, I want to record the whole output out of jit.gl render. I am attaching a patch made by Sem Schreuder. I have attached the syphon object but is not connected because I've tried all the options my brain could think of.

2. Do I need a jit.gl.slab to flip the image? I do not know java and do not know how to code.

3. How do I record a mov. file from jit.gl.render. As far as I understand, jit.gl.node 2nd outlet only works with 3D objects. But what if the output I want to record from is not a 3D object. This patch is complex (for me) and if I connect the jit.gl.node 2nd outlet to the jit.gl.gridshape it skips the jit.gl.texture and I am sure it skips a few other objects.

This question is not for this patch but it happens with syphon

4. Sometimes, when I connect the jit.gl.node 2nd outlet to jit.gl.mesh I lose the output of jit.window, but I can see it in the syphon output. Why?

I'm sorry, I know these are a lot of questions but otherwise I won't learn.
